I have always used Rain-X on my truck windows, and it is time to re-apply, I also picked up a thing of the anti-fog, and on the back it says not to alow to contact, non-clear surfaces, surfaces treated with anti-reflective, scrtach resistant, or other coatings. So the question is can I use it on the tinted windows? I want to think not, but was wondering if anyone had done it. Thanks for any help.

You are fine if the tint is in the glass. If not try it in a place where you won't notice it if it discolors the tint, but that may take months to show up. Personally, I would not try it on tinting.

Yeah, I'm sacred to try it because it could take months to jack my tint up. I was hoping someone else had been my gunea pig...

To much of a hassle using Rain-x the old way. Clean the glass, apply Rain-x to the glass, polish the glass. If you ask me it's a pain in the glass. Makes me cross eyed. I buy the additive for the washer fluid and it works great!

I have used Rain-x before. It worked real good on my old F250. Hardly had to use the wipers. But it does not clear the window on my Ram 2500 like it did on the Ford. I don't know why maybe a different angle of attack of the windows.

I use the rainX washer fluid, I like it alot. I'm wondering if the anti-fog will work on rifle scopes and binoculars. Every year during deer season I'm cussing both. You bring them close to your face and the eyepieces instantly fog.

talk to the company that applied your tint.
If they use a tinted plastic film, then it will discolor. If they use a sprayed metalic film, then it shouldn't discolor. (according to our local tint shop).

I used that stuff on my old gasser with some 35% tint, and it didnt hurt the tint any. I didnt like the stuff, I never could buff it off like the directions said, and made it fog-up weird. I would never buy it again.

Timberman, I had a friend in Florida try the anti fog on a set of binocs and it screwed up the coating on the lens pretty good. Had to have them recoated. Allmost all of the good optics are coated so I don't know if I would ever risk it.

I love plain old Rain-X; it is the best thing to happen to windshields.

The anti-fog is a different story; I have tried it and could tell no difference, either on windshields, or safety glasses.

Hear in water-logged Kentucky, nothing will work to keep glasses from fogging; believe me, I have tried it all.

It is either wear fogged safety glasses and not be able to see the dangerous task being performed, or go without the glasses and run the risk of getting an eye knocked out; it's a no win situation.

Timberman

Thanks. I've got to find something that will work but not screw up my coatings. I'm sure there's got to be something out there, I'm not the only one with that problem.

I believe Cabela's sells some anti fog wipes designed for optics. Never tried them though.

The usual rain-x is good, but the anti fog was crap. I tried some and my windows fogged worse. Just put the plain kind in the wiper jug and your set.

We have some anti-fog wipes at work for safety glasses. They dont work for other than knocking dirt and oil off the glasses.
